Free Web NovelChapter 557: Chapter 555: 1 Drop of Blood Essence
"This is already the strongest wave; he can’t hold on much longer."
Jun Baimu gazed at the god-sparrow phantom suspended across the sky, still shaken as he said, "The God Sparrow’s breath—blood flames split the flesh, searing and refining; at such intensity, even if it were Xiao Ming, he couldn’t last more than two hours!"
Shi Hu glanced sidelong at Jun Baimu, wishing to retort, but having to admit his reasoning was sound.
However, when Xu Yang does something, ordinary logic does not apply!
"What is he doing?"
Suddenly someone cried out in shock.
Jun Baimu’s pupils contracted sharply, a look of incredulity in his eyes.
They saw Xu Yang’s body suddenly erupt with a terrifying devouring force, enveloping the surrounding void.
As if dissatisfied with the impact of the blood flames, he deliberately increased the pull.
One must know, at this moment only he remained in the field, and the onslaught from the god-sparrow phantom was entirely focused upon him.
He thinks the assault is still not enough?
Has he gone mad?
Jun Baimu felt as though he were seeing a ghost.
Boom!
A dark shadow flickered.
The divine cauldron’s phantom shrouding Xu Yang’s body suddenly became solid.
He had directly summoned forth the divine cauldron in its true form, sitting cross-legged atop it.
Whoosh!
Pitch-black flames burst forth, enveloping him on all sides.
Above him, torrents of blood flames mixed with blood feathers cascaded down like a waterfall.
Crimson above, black below!
The uncanny scene left everyone feeling their minds were too limited to comprehend it all.
They could not begin to imagine what Xu Yang was doing.
The result of these actions was that Xu Yang now trembled even more violently.
However, just as he suddenly formed hand seals, complex sigils whirled about his body.
Shi Hu finally understood somewhat, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Alchemy?"
"What alchemy?"
Jun Baimu looked at Shi Hu, bewildered.
Shi Hu swallowed hard, muttering, "He looks like he’s refining a pill, doesn’t he?"
"He’s refining himself as the pill!"
"What?"
"Hiss!"
Jun Baimu shuddered all over, sucking in a cold breath.
And then his entire mind went blank.
How can this be?
"Refining himself as a medicinal pill might seem to make some sense, but it’s far too insane; these blood flames, no matter how weak, are still the spirit fire of the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow; how could his black flames contend?"
Jun Baimu suddenly shook his head, finding it absurd.
Even as his words faded, a clanging explosion erupted from within Xu Yang, turbulent and vast.
He quivered like a sieve, but his aura once more broke past its limits, bringing forth a grand ascension.
Boom!
Mighty swathes of blood flames were drawn into his body.
His trembling body gradually grew steady at a slow but sure pace.
Jun Baimu’s mouth hung open, his face burning with embarrassment.
It felt as though fate had slapped him across the face—far too swiftly.
At this moment, inside Xu Yang, Heaven-Locking Divine Chains densely intertwined, layer upon layer.
He discarded all distraction; his will blazed like fire, spiritual imprints shone brilliantly, forging the Heaven-Locking Divine Chains with frenzied intensity at every moment.
His body was like a tapestry of a myriad pills; within each, infinite power was sealed, being ceaselessly refined under the inner and outer bombardment.
His flesh and bones, as if replaced anew, again and again.
Every transformation and ascension was a true rebirth!
If revealed outwardly, it would leave all present hair standing on end.
Even the Innate-born physiques of monstrous beasts were never tempered so.
Time slipped by unnoticed.
All eyes were fixed deathly on Xu Yang.
From initial shock, to an uproar in the midst, to now—utter stupefaction.
No one could fathom the madness of Xu Yang’s actions!
It had already been an hour and a half.
The god-sparrow phantom seemed to be conjured for Xu Yang alone!
In the void above the clouds, the true body of the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow gazed down upon Xu Yang, its eyes filled with even greater interest.
For this person, it had developed tremendous curiosity.
The spirit fire, the divine cauldron, his various methods—all set him apart and made him utterly unfathomable!
Thus, each time Xu Yang teetered on the edge of disaster, his body would undergo a new ascension, carrying him further still.
Little did others know, the Six Heavenly Skills had already been pushed to their ultimate limit by him.
Only when all six skills were wielded together could he barely keep pace with the impact of the blood flames!
"Still not yet the peak!"
"Ten thousand pills—right now, they’ve only barely reached the supreme grade!"
Transcendent quality—that is Xu Yang’s true aim!
If his body was like ten thousand pills, and every one was of transcendent grade...
Once all burst forth—unimaginable!
More crucially, he would be able to withstand even stronger evil qi assaults within the cauldron world.
To Xu Yang, the evil qi within the cauldron world was currently the deadliest trump card. freёwebnovel.com
To possess a peerless physique—he could wait not a moment more!
"Perhaps I can use the evil qi to risk advancing..."
"But now is not yet the time."
A thought flickered in Xu Yang’s heart, but he soon suppressed it.
"Nearly two hours now."
"Is this guy really going to last more than two hours?"
"In nearly a hundred years, there have only been seven occasions of the God Sparrow’s breath; the longest lasted was just over fifty years ago—two hours and a quarter!"
"If he goes beyond two hours, I wonder if Lord Sparrow will give any reward..."
"Damn it, I’m envious."
...
Jun Baimu had fully composed himself.
He could not compare to Xu Yang at all, nor did he have any hope of catching up.
No use saying more!
In his eyes, no matter how strong one was here, in the end they were no match for Xiao Ming.
Before Xiao Ming, a defeated opponent remained always defeated.
At a certain moment—
Two hours.
Chirp!
The god-sparrow phantom screeched, flapping its wings as the fury of its breath soared again.
Boom!
Xu Yang gave a muffled groan, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Countless "pills" condensing within him were nearly all shattered at once by the impact.
Clenching his teeth, he drove the divine cauldron to its utmost, Heaven-Burning Divine Fire erupted inward and intertwined with his core.
Spiritual imprints flared across his bones in an instant, manifesting tens of thousands of phantoms to envelop the "pills!"
Only by exerting his utmost did he barely halt the collapse!
"Refine—for me!"
Xu Yang roared inwardly, layer upon layer of Heaven-Locking Divine Chains weaving like the fabric of the universe, spreading madly.
This ascension came with unmatched violence!
The divine chains exploded with clangor, and the energy condensed within the pills nearly overflowed.
Rumble!
The divine cauldron quaked, even the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire was momentarily suppressed! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Six Heavenly Skills!"
Xu Yang’s hands flashed through seals at lightning speed, fiercely binding.
After a few dozen heartbeats—
The storm abated somewhat.
Xu Yang could finally let out a breath; he had endured.
Suddenly, his eyes widened as he stared in a daze at the god-sparrow phantom above.
The phantom began to distort, solidifying at a speed visible even to the naked eye.
Next, the God Sparrow seemed to truly come alive; a pair of blood-red eyes fixed upon Xu Yang.
Gulp!
Xu Yang was thrown into a state of dire peril, as if targeted by a dreadful celestial overlord; his skin crawled, and everything within him was frozen stiff!
The true form of the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow!
All present were so terrified they held their breath, frozen like wooden statues.
Suddenly, the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow opened its beak.
Poof!
A droplet of fresh blood drifted forth and, in a flash like lightning, shot toward Xu Yang.
"Essence blood?"
Xu Yang’s whole body trembled, unable to contain his mounting excitement.
Boom!
The essence blood entered his body—Xu Yang instantly let loose a roar of pain.
A force tens of times stronger than the blood flames detonated within, making him feel as though his body was about to explode.
This power was too immense, impossible to suppress at all.
The Heaven-Burning Divine Fire was instantly blown apart!
The divine cauldron resounded in metallic agony, utterly unstable!
Each "pill" was on the verge of shattering in that instant!
"Damn it, this is no blessing at all."
